Just when Kirito was confused, a sneer came from behind them.
"I have suspected you two for a long time. You two were clearly two guys acting alone, so how could you defeat the boss while the strategy team was well prepared in advance?
In the first twenty floors, you could probably say that the boss was too weak, but this is the fifty-first floor. How could the two of you kill the boss instantly when he is at half health?
You, are cheaters, or are you two Kayaba Akihiko's people? What is your purpose in approaching Asuna-sama, and infiltrating our strategy team? "
Unwarranted accusations arose out of nowhere. Lin Bei and Kirito looked over together and found that the person who spoke was a man standing behind Asuna.
He was tall and thin, with a gloomy face. Lin Bei recognized this guy at a glance. He was Asuna's bodyguard swordsman, Kradir.
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes and thought that his guess was correct, the boss's intelligence was wrong, and it was this guy who did it.
In the original world of "Sword Art Online", this guy was resentful of being defeated by Kirito, and wanted to monopolize Asuna, so he designed to kill his companions. When he was about to kill Kirito, Asuna arrived to stop him, and was finally killed by Kirito.
But now, because of Lin Bei's arrival, the plot seems a little different.
This Kradir is even more cruel than in the original world. He not only wants to kill Kirito, but also wants to get rid of most of the people in the strategy group.
But why would he do this?
In the original world, he was jealous of Kirito and disgusted with his dead companion. But what about now? Do the other players in the strategy group have any grudge against him?
Lin Bei thought about it for a moment and felt that he seemed to have missed a very important piece of information.
Just as Lin Bei fell into deep thought, many players in the surrounding strategy group had been convinced by Kradir's words, and just now Lin Bei and Kirito had indeed survived the boss's instant kill move.
Not only did he survive, he was also unharmed.
Even the player named Lin Bei used magic moves that had never appeared in SAO.
If this isn't cheating, then what is it?
For a moment, the players present looked at Lin Bei and Kirito with suspicion, and all wanted them to give an answer.
Among these people, only Asuna frowned. She turned around and looked at Kradir with a sharp gaze, her tone full of disapproval.
"Kradiel, what nonsense are you talking about? How could Kirito and Lin Bei be cheaters? The fact that they survived proves that they have the ability to survive. You can't just talk nonsense here just because they are better than you!
They have long ago spent more effort than ordinary players to upgrade and travel to many places. Since they were able to defeat bosses alone before, it means that they themselves have reward props that we don’t know about!
It's not impossible to survive a one-shot kill. What if an NPC gave you an item that could do that? You haven't investigated all of this, and you're calling them cheaters. Please apologize to them immediately!"
Kradir didn't expect Asuna to say that. A look of surprise flashed across his face, and then his face darkened. He put his hand on the hilt of the sword, looked at Asuna, then at Lin Bei and the other person not far away, and sneered.
"Humph, I didn't expect that you could even brainwash Asuna-sama. It seems that you are quite capable. Although what Asuna-sama said makes some sense, this kind of item has never been confirmed, so it is still just speculation.
I still think you are more likely to be cheaters, otherwise, why would the boss's second stage be different from what was reported in the intelligence? This rumor was confirmed during the testing period. When a cheater enters the boss's room, the game system will detect it and change the boss's second stage form. What else do you have to say!"
This remark immediately resonated with the surrounding players, because what Kradir said was well known in the SAO game circle, and it was this incident that attracted more people to play this game.
Seeing that the eyes of the players around him had all changed, and they were all planning to denounce Lin Bei and Kirito, a dark light flashed in Kradir's eyes, and he raised his head arrogantly.
"So, two cheaters, hand over the reward for the boss's final blow, and then you will be expelled from our Scarlet Knights. Today the Scarlet Knights can spare your lives, but when we see you again in the future, don't blame us for killing you."
When Asuna heard this, her heart tightened. She almost immediately ran towards Kirito, turned around and stood in front of Lin Bei and Kirito with a serious face.
Compared to the Scarlet Knights, Kirito is more important to Asuna. When she first entered the game, she was just a newbie who knew nothing and didn't dare to leave the safe zone. If it weren't for Kirito's encouragement, there would not be the shining Asuna today.
If she had to choose, she would choose Kirito.
Kradir was shocked. He never expected that Lady Asuna would be bewitched by Kirito to this extent!
The Scarlet Knights are the strongest guild among the players, especially the strategy group they are in. They are the elites among the elites. It can be said that the hope of all players to escape from the game lies in their strategy group.
With such a high status, why can Lady Asuna give it up just like that? Fame, fortune, achievements, and everyone's admiration are not as good as those of an independent player?
The more Kradir thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more unwilling he became. With a ferocious look on his face, he strode towards Asuna and reached out to grab Asuna.
"Asuna-sama, please stop messing around. Even if you mess around, you should consider the situation. They are cheaters..."
In the distance, Kirito frowned. He didn't move until Kradir was about to approach Asuna. He clenched the weapon in his hand and was about to step over.
Lin Bei raised his hand slightly to stop him, then walked towards Kradir and Asuna.
Although he walked slowly, it didn't take him long to reach the two of them.
Kradir was grabbing Asuna's wrist, trying to pull her back to the Scarlet Knights. Lin Bei raised his hand, grabbed Kradir's wrist, and tightened it slightly.
Kladil's expression suddenly changed, and severe pain came from his wrist. Kladil quickly let go of Asuna. He glanced at the blood bar that was losing blood, and quickly took out a bottle of red medicine and drank it.
After the blood on the health bar stabilized, Kradir looked at Lin Bei in shock and angrily accused him.
"You said you're not a cheater, but this is a boss room and we're in a team, so how could you possibly harm me?
Now that the damage index has appeared, it means you are a cheater. What else can you say to quibble?"
Lin Bei patted Asuna's shoulder, motioning her to go find Kirito, then turned around and looked at Kradir calmly.
As if frightened by Lin Bei's eyes, Kladil, who had been shouting and yelling just now, suddenly stopped talking. As he looked at Lin Bei's indifferent gaze, he felt a chill in his heart and his whole body trembled.
How is this going?
Kradir's heart trembled. He didn't understand why he felt so scared. It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a player or a person, but a terrifying and invincible boss.
What's going on?
Kradir didn't understand, he forced himself to calm down, then thought that he was not alone, turned around and shouted to the other players, encouraging them to stand on his side.
The other players were also in the team, and naturally noticed that Kradir's health bar had dropped.
This time they believed what Kradir said and thought that Lin Bei and Kirito were cheaters.
You know, the most annoying thing in sao games is cheaters. They rely on cheating to grab resources, making it impossible for other players to upgrade and obtain various resources for making a living.
For a moment, everyone looked at Lin Bei with displeasure.
Lin Bei didn't care at all.
How could he possibly care so much about a group of ordinary people?
Lin Bei put his hands behind his back, shrugged and smiled faintly.
"You can say whatever you want. I don't care anyway. But I have a question for you, Kradir. Why did you tamper with the investigation report of the boss of the fifty-first floor? Did you want to kill Kirito, or did you want to kill the other members of the strategy team including Kirito?"
No one expected Lin Bei to say such a thing.
Including Kradir.
For a moment, everyone was stunned, and Kradir was also a little dumbfounded.
Soon, Kradir came to his senses, his heart was shaking wildly and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.
Why did Lin Bei know that he was the one who did it? It was obvious that he was the only one who knew about it and no one else would have noticed it.
Because he used props with a hidden aura and stole the data from the investigation team like a thief, even the team leader did not notice his actions.
Why would a cheater...
and many more.
He was a cheater, of course he noticed it, because this kind of thieving method was no different from cheating in the eyes of ordinary players.
He must have discovered it because he noticed something was wrong with the data.
After pondering it over in his mind, Kradir calmed down instantly. He reviewed the process of his crime and felt relieved after confirming that no evidence was left.
Kladil drew his sword and pointed it at Lin Bei, pretending to be calm and sneered righteously: "Who would believe a cheater like you? Can you produce evidence to identify me? Instead of framing me, your identity as a cheater has been confirmed. In my opinion, the information of the investigation team must be correct. It is because of you, a cheater, that the boss changed the second-stage attack method. You are still pretending here. Cheaters should get out of the strategy team and spit out all the rewards you got before!"
Seeing that he was still determined to do something evil, Lin Bei shook his head helplessly, said lightly, "I've already given you a chance", and raised his hand to open the system bar.
With Lin Bei's strength, he will naturally not be controlled by the SAO game. Not only can he log in and out at any time, he can even easily gain the identity of the administrator and mobilize every piece of data in the game.
This naturally includes the data of Kradir.
Lin Bei's fingers slid quickly and soon locked onto a piece of data. He called up the data and projected it in front of everyone.
When the screen showed the information of Klatir replacing the data of the investigation team members, everyone present gasped.
All those who had suspected Lin Bei just now turned their eyes to Kradir.
Kradir was completely dumbfounded when he saw himself changing data in mid-air.
He stood there in a daze, looking up at the sky in disbelief, then at Lin Bei.
What is the identity of this player named Lin Bei?
How can he manipulate the game's internal data at will? This is not something a cheater can do, right?
Kradir's heart was shaking wildly. This time, the fear in his heart seemed to materialize, causing his body to shake uncontrollably.
The situation beyond his cognition made Klatir unable to accept the reality before him, so, who exactly is this Lin Bei?
Kradir's pupils trembled, and he forced a smile in a cold sweat, and questioned in a trembling voice.
"Hey, hey, hey, who are you? Aren't you a player? Aren't you a cheater? How do you have the authority to manipulate player data?
Can you take off your helmet and return to the real world? If you can do that, why do you blend in with us ordinary players? Do you find it funny to see us struggling to survive?
What do you want to do? What is your relationship with Kayaba Akihiko?"
The more Kradir spoke, the more heart-wrenching his voice became. He couldn't even imagine that his conspiracy would be exposed in public.
Then his plan would have completely failed. Not only would he be expelled from the Bloody Knights, but he would also soon become a useless pawn to the other side.
He absolutely could not let this happen. If he wanted to reverse this fact, he had to shift the conflict onto Lin Bei.
Unfortunately, just as Kradir was thinking, Asuna, who was standing with Kirito in the distance, spoke in a harsh voice.
“As for Lin Bei’s identity, we the Scarlet Knights will naturally investigate after we leave here, and we will also give an explanation to all the players.
But you, Kradiel, facing the evidence, do you still want to quibble and evade the facts? Do you know how many players you will kill with this action? Do you think that every player standing in the boss room is willing to risk their lives to capture it?
If there is a choice, who doesn't want to live in a safe zone? But in order to survive, everyone is struggling, and you, Kladil, you want to kill all of us, you are a traitor to the SAO strategy team! "
Asuna strode to Lin Bei's side, raised her sword and pointed it at Kradir, giving a cold order.
"As the vice-leader of the Scarlet Knights, I hereby announce that Kradir has been expelled from the Scarlet Knights. I will explain this to the leader."
The moment Asuna finished speaking, the emblem of the Scarlet Knights on Kradir's body instantly cracked and turned into stars and disappeared in mid-air.
Kradir was panicking, he didn't want to leave the Scarlet Knights, where he had won countless honors and admiring looks, he didn't want to be an ordinary player with no fame who could only hide behind others!
Kradir gritted his teeth and glared at Asuna, wondering if it weren't for Asuna, why would he have done this?
All he did was to make Lady Asuna worthy of her honor!
If Lady Asuna has given up on him, then Lady Asuna is not worthy of being the vice-captain!
Rather than being expelled from the Red Knights like this, it would be better for him to write about everything that happened in this boss room.
Thinking of this, Kradir's eyes turned cold, and he tightened his grip on the sword at his waist. Just as he was about to draw it out, a chuckle interrupted his action.
Lin Bei's eyes fell on Kradir's right hand. Although he was wearing a glove, he had remembered the thing he had forgotten.
"I just said that I forgot something. It's okay to leave the Scarlet Knights. Isn't this a good opportunity for you to join your favorite Smiling Coffin?" (End of this chapter)
